I'm so with you on this! 
Stranger Things season finale was literally dragging me down with all those exposition scenes 
I get why they're trying to pay homage to the 80s, but it's like they forgot we're watching a show, not playing a game 
. At the same time, Edge of Tomorrow is like the perfect example of how video games can inspire some amazing storytelling 
John Wick 4 was fun for like an hour and then I just wanted to punch the screen in 
Can't they find that sweet spot where it's not too much? 
And omg Indika sounds so mind-blowing!
Five-hour playtime is so intense, but if it's as deep as you say, that's like a whole different kind of game altogether 
. Maybe the key is to take what works from video games and just make it more cinematic? Like, instead of side-quests, they could have character arcs or something

I mean i love stranger things but dat last ep was like watchin a tutorial on how 2 use the plot device lol 
. I get it, they wanna pay homage to video games but c'mon can't we just have a decent cliffhanger instead of a 3 hour info dump? 
. It's like, yeah, I get it, you wanna be like a game, but sometimes less is more, you know?
